  Takeshi Kaneshiro
Takeshi Kaneshiro was born on October 11, 1973, in Taiwan of Japanese and Taiwanese parents.
Kaneshiro started his rise to stardom by making commercials during his school years, and at the age of fifteen was given the opportunity to be a pop star by a Taipei AandR company.
Kaneshiro's screen idol looks belie his talents; reportedly, Wong and Kaneshiro collaborated on ideas for some scenes, and Kaneshiro's role in Fallen Angels as a son missing his father is perhaps one of the best and most loved in Wong Kar-Wai's oeuvre.

 Takeshi Kaneshiro Bio, News, Awards and Movie Credits - RopeofSilicon.com
One of the most sought-after male leads in Asia, half-Taiwanese, half-Japanese Takeshi Kaneshiro began his rise to stardom at age 15 when he was talent spotted and recruited to be a Taiwanese pop idol.
Kaneshiro’s silver screen debut came in Tony CHING and Johnnie TO’s ‘Executioners’ (1993) where his turn as a quasi-religious villain made such a deep impression that this became his only supporting role to date.
Takeshi Kaneshiro has since played the male lead in all of his subsequent 27 films, which include the Golden Horse Award and Hong Kong Film Award winning ‘Chungking Express’ (1994) and ‘Fallen Angels’ (1995).

 Takeshi Kaneshiro - Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The 1/2 Chinese (of Taiwanese nationality) and 1/2 Japanese Takeshi Kaneshiro may have started out as a puerile teen idol in the Chinese entertainment scene, but he's since become a proper film star in his own right.
Other memorable roles include his turn as a lovelorn student in Sam dung (1999), an angel in Fan yi cho (2000) and the leader of a trio of robbers in Supêsutoraberâzu (2000).
Of course, there hasn't been an Asian actor quite as versatile as Kaneshiro, who is able to straddle the Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japanese film industries because of his proficiency in various languages.

 Amazon.ca: Fallen Angels: Video: Kar-wai Wong,Leon Lai,Michelle Reis,Takeshi Kaneshiro,Charlie Yeung,Karen Mok,Fai-hung ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Much of the movie is given over to a very strange subplot about a manic mute (Takeshi Kaneshiro) who goes on bizarre nocturnal prowls through a closed food market--like almost everything else in Wong's films, this is antic, stylish, and oddly touching, all at the same time.
These coups--whether lyrical, violent, or simply "how on earth did they get that shot?"--are tossed off by Wong and cinematographer Christopher Doyle with all the cool of the hired killer, as though the movie were a cigarette dangling from a pair of oh-so-casual lips.
The mute ex-con (prisoner #223) of Fallen Angels and Cop #223 of CKE are both played by the same actor (Takeshi Kaneshiro) and both named He Qiwu [per subtitles; IMDB has He Zhiwu, closer to the soundtrack].
